Today's the day for UB alum and former NCAA Division I National Champion Jon Jones. After his championship just over a year ago, we all learned that he had been competing for months with injured knees and potentially had a big increase in distance coming with health.
In competitions since, Jones placed third at the USATF Indoor Nationals and fifth in the IAAF Indoor World Championships - the highest-finishing American - earlier this year.
It's worth noting that Jones will likely need to improve by at least .50 meters on his personal outdoor best of 20.
